Report M & M's Candy

Students had previously covered the topic of developing fluency in multiplication by 2-digit numbers. After that topic students moved on to cover number sense, dividing by 1-digit divisors using mental math to prepare them for the following topic of my learning segment. The topic of my learning segment consists of developing fluency, dividing by 1-digit divisors. I designed my lesson as a three-day unit focusing on long division by modeling division with place-value blocks, dividing 2-digit by 1-digit numbers, and dividing 3-digit by 1-digit numbers. Students were introduced to division prior to my learning segment but the struggled to understand and comprehend division because students were only introduced to the division algorithm and were not provided with a mnemonic to help them recall the steps. Students also weren’t introduced to division with manipulatives or drawings. Therefore, I

The pre-assessment used to establish students’ baseline knowledge and skills for this lesson is first to watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z2gpbYiEXo. After the video engages the students to bring back prior knowledge, they will be given a white board. The students will work out a subtraction problem on the board for me to see what they already understand about solving subtraction word problems. I will use the data to know what parts of the instruction on how to solve subtraction word problems need to be more emphasized to the students.

This lesson was geared toward many levels of learning ability and a variety of learning styles. Mrs. Soglin modeled the learning objective with the pan balance using the visual aid with the scale and a variety of different objects to be weighed. Then she provided additional information using the chalkboard. She engaged with the class by having an open discussion allowing the students to build on each other’s knowledge of the subject matter. She allowed for students to model for the class. When students were working in groups and pairs the higher level students helped lower level students. She also provided challenging problems at the end of the activity for those students who were ready and

The setting of the novel is in present day in Seattle, Washington. The main character of the story is Mick Johnson. Mick’s father was a failure as an NFL football player and now looks to Mick to pick up his dreams as

9. A third-grade teacher is looking to improve her students’ level of engagement during group discussions and instruction. She keeps track of each of the 15 third graders’ number of responses every day for 1 week. This information is available in Ch. 4 Data Set 2. Use IBM® SPSS® software to create a bar chart (one bar for each day).

Melissa is able to do simple subtraction problems like 5-1 but larger numbers in subtraction is problematic for this student. I demonstrated to her two approaches to subtraction problems. First, is applying the counter and the second is by drawing pictures on a scrap paper. This allows her to see how to subtract the numbers. For example, 15-3 I drew 15 circles and I explain to her to cross out 3 circles. Then explain to her to count how many circles are left. The few homework, I assisted Melissa had word problems. I helped her by underlining keywords in the word problem and on a side piece of paper I wrote sum=total, less=subtract (-). If she sees certain keywords she will understand what type of problem she is solving. With practice, Melissa will be able to do these types of math problems quickly. She eventually started to understand the math problems with some

In order to improve my instructional practices, I analyzed instructional data from district math diagnostic and proficiency assessments. The most recent assessment assessed student’s abilities to count, add and subtract, and their understanding of place value. My students scored below not only the other first grade students at the school, but also all first grade students in the district. 81.6% of my students could count, read, and write numbers to 120. This was an improvement from their diagnostic assessment. However, only 66.7% could relate counting to addition and subtraction, and only 45% demonstrated understanding of place value in two digit numbers.

[The formal and informal assessments in the learning segments provided direct evident throughout the learning segments as I was able to incorporate relevant and meaningful assessments with my students. In the first lesson, students will be assessed through an observation during the anticipatory activity. I will use a Smart Presentation in this lesson and have the students determine which items have the greatest/least quantity. I will collect the data using my clipboard. In learning experience 2, students will, again, be observed. I will use a checklist ensuring students are able to read quantities from left to right as well as being able to recognize the three key vocabulary terms for this unit –

During this semester I was lucky to be placed at Mink Shoals in a fifth grade class. I taught a total of five lessons. For my assessment chart I choose to show the progress that my students made on the math lesson. They took a pre-test and a post test. I knew that math was a good subject for about half of the class, and half of the class struggled. I knew this was going to be difficult to teach. Before I taught my lesson I did a lot of planning, but before I planned I worked with students every day in a math group. These math groups showed me what the students understood and did not understand. When I planned my lesson I talked to my cooperating teacher to see what I should go over if I wanted to help prepare them for the smaterbalance. After we talked, I decided to look up standards, and practice math tests to see what I should review for the test. After looking everything over

The purpose of this report is to report the findings from statistical analysis on the claims M&M has made concerning proportions, the number of each color of M&M candies in each 1.69 oz. bag of candies and a claim for quality control.

Warheads are the King of candy because of the sour punch covering the outside of the candy.For example,self proclaimed world’s best candy expert Willy Warhead stated in a recent tweet that,”The extreme sour coating of the Warhead blows the sour patch kids’ “sour coating” out of the water “ This explains that how sour a candy is can make or break your candy.Also candyland.com made it apparent that “Warheads’ sour level is only rivaled by a spoonful of citric acid.”This shows that

-The student will be able to evaluate, and analyze the given information to solve mathematical word problems.

The Story Gym candy By Carl Deuker is a story about a kid named Mick Johnson and his friends Deshawn and Drew. The Point of view that Carl tells it in the third person. Mick is playing high school football at Foothill high school in his town Shilsole with his friend Deshawn and Drew. Mick is a running back and he is trying to beat the Senior Drager. Drager is a really good Running back and Mick wants to be better than Drager. So Mick starts working hard in the Gym to try to be better than Drager. One day When Mick is working out at the gym Drager decides to come in and hit Mick in the chest multiple times so that his chest is sore for the next few days. Micks father works at a radio station and his radio station just bought a fitness center in town and Micks father said that he gets to go workout their for free. Mick goes and works out at the fitness center and meets a personal trainer named Pete helps Mick get stronger by working out with him and then decides to give Mick some Gym candy. This so called gym candy is something that mick knows he shouldn't do but he wants to become better than Drager and be the best on the team. This Gym candy Mick is taking is called

I am sure we have all seen or heard about taffy. What I would think would come to mind to most people when I would say something regarding taffy might be something concerning saltwater taffy. I love saltwater taffy. It seems that it is not in great supply around here. The only place I know of is somewhere like the cracker barrel. Needless to say I never go to cracker barrel, and it is a little more than I feel comfortable spending on candy. So I find myself resorting to a childhood favorite, laffy taffy. It is sold everywhere, and it is very inexpensive. I really started to like it when I played baseball as a kid. After the game I would always try to pump mom or dad for a few cents to stock up. It never made it home. I would somehow eat my entire entire stockpile. Whoever came up with the idea of putting jokes inside the wrapper is a very rich man. I could not help but to try to unwrap one more. The way the jokes where printed on the wrapper was very smart too. They would put one joke half way on the wrapper so it made me want to know the end of the joke, genius really.

Prior to researching teaching strategies that are effective with EBD students, I taught equivalent ratios using formulas and mathematical processes. Students frequently confused steps or demonstrated confusion in conceptual ideas while working with ratios and needed frequent correction. My research guided me to choosing the JUMP Math curriculum. JUMP Math utilizes teacher -directed instruction and graduated instructional sequence to break lessons down into incremental steps. I realize I was not introducing material in a way that accounted for the wide variety of learning gaps my students can have when I compare the lessons I gave last year to the lessons in the JUMP Math teacher’s guide. It was difficult for students to connect what they knew with what I was introducing. I anticipate utilizing specific teacher-directed instruction lessons in the JUMP Math curriculum will help my students understand foundational concepts which were difficult to comprehend. While the curriculum has built in extensions and challenges, I will still need to monitor students for engagement and be conscious of students who are working at grade level or who grasp mathematical concepts easily. Students who feel the lesson is too easy will be prone to disengaging or refusing to participate in the lesson. Pre-assessment of skills will be essential in this area.
